    It seems you can order it, but no download links provided.

    I just sent a note to Virtavia customer service to let them know, and opened a ticket with Simmarket.

    Yeah, I just noticed that as well. I finally bought the Aerosoft Twotter as well, so I didn't notice the missing B-29 link at first.

    I bought the Virtavia B-24 Liberator package from PC Aviator this week so I'm flying Libs around FS9 and FSX right now. I'll give 'em a few days to get the B-29 downloads sorted out before I feed my "big bomber" habit some more. The B-29 package looks really nice.

    Just got it at PCAviator, and took a short hop from McChord AFB to Boeing Field. Impressive.

    Wonderful job, Virtavia.

    I just had to get this one as my late Father-In-Law worked on the B-29's including the Enola Gay.

    Now I gotta go read the manual...

    This is definitely a must buy next week I might as well wait at least for the PC Aviator 10% off tuesday as I have no time to fiddle with this beuty before that.

    How functional is the engineer station and is there any levers, gauges or buttons that do not work?

    Was the cockpit really that green?

    And how well are the engines modelled? From what I've read they were notorious for overheating and bursting into flames if not treated properly.

    I've been in the cockpit of one and it's very well represented here... the green looks exactly like that IRL., and well as the color of the rest of the textures, including the seats. The real one has a fairly spare looking interior, with physical objects relatively simple in shape, also well done here, compared to much 'busier' looking cockpits in bombers developed a few years later.

    It's nice to see the air ducting inside the cockpit modeled... that's something missing on older FS versions, very obviously so when you sit in one.

    I just finished a 3 hour practice run on some town in Oregon.

    Fun to explore the plane once you reach altitude and set the autopilot.

    Found a couple animations not mentioned in the manual, and checked out all the switches.

    Paintkit is where they always are. Go to the Virtavia site and follow the link to the free stuff near the top. You'll see Paintkits in bold letters with the B-29 on the top of the list when sorted by date released.

    From looking into the flight deck of 44-61748 at Duxford, its pretty close. Maybe a tad brighter in the model, but that can be put down to monitors / eyesight etc. They've pretty much got it right.

    For those who want a 4-50cal turret on "Dina Might" open the aircraft.cfg and ammend model to read model=B-29A_late
